Your metadata is inaccurate, but yes there is an underlying problem with SlimServer which is why it doesn't work.
But IMHO it makes far more sense to have "ZZZZZZUnknown Artist" than the artist field blank. Both are crappy, but at least I can jump to my unknown artist quickly, and my WinAmp listings of all my artists tie up exactly with ones on my web interface. It's all down to control and consistency - this is not a critical issue with the Server as you are relying on it to get you out of trouble because you have not fully completed your music organisation - that track appeared on an album somewhere, or a CD single, or a bootleg or radioshow or something that had a title so for completeness you should find it. I only have a few tracks/albums that really have no titles and that's usually stuff by Aphex Twin or whatever name you're used to calling him. But if you look around any music store rather than list it as nothing they refer to it as "(Untitled)" which I do too. Yes the Slimserver should be expected to deal with blank artists but much better for control to set to your specifics because maybe WinAmp shows '' as Artist, iTunes 'Unknown' and Slim 'No Artist'. -- Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=213 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18415 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
